Chapter Index

    Ending(2)

    Bai Tong didn’t have time to worry about who could see him, so he started crying.

    There was no way she could control the tears.

    Even the paper towels couldn’t stop him, so Bai Tong could only quickly pick up his schoolbag and walk out of the classroom.

    But Yin Yi was still enthusiastic. When Bai Tong passed by, she pulled Bai Tong and asked, “Xueba, why are you crying?”

    Bai Tong and Yin Yi didn’t have much to talk about. If she could ask a question, she just wanted to ask Sun Daining, “You obviously like me, don’t you like me? Don’t you like me?”

    There were too many questions, but she had no way to ask them.

    Yin Yi was still waiting for her answer, and Sun Daining also looked at her worriedly. Bai Tong could only find a random reason and replied, “I didn’t do well in the exam.”

    Yin Yi asked a question, “? I haven’t had any exams recently.”

    The question-sea tactic also applies to interpersonal communication. Bai Tong can now answer any question, even if the answer is lame, “I saw the test paper that I didn’t do well in the exam before.”

    “Oh, that’s it.” Yin Yi was somewhat impressed, “No wonder you are a top student.”

    After thinking about it, I asked again, “Then last semester… you failed the exam too, right?”

    “No.” Bai Tong couldn’t say any more, so she walked towards the classroom door.

    But at this time Yin Yi and Sun Daining also planned to leave, so they followed Bai Tong.

    Bai Tong knew they were just along the way, but it felt really weird to have someone following behind them.

    Yin Yi didn’t know if she believed Bai Tong’s words or not. Anyway, she said, “Be safe, you know? You may not be so lucky to meet our Sun Daining next time.”

    We are Sun Daining.

    Our Sun Daining is a big liar in Bai Tong’s heart.

    Obviously the two people are so different, but it’s so easy to choose one of them.If Sun Daining likes her, why can he accept Yin Yi?

    Or maybe Sun Daining didn’t like her at all, and all of this was just her imagination.

    Bai Tong is not a good-tempered person, nor is she someone who blames herself for mistakes. She really wants to question Sun Daining’s rashness, but she has no position.

    For Sun Daining, nothing ever happened.In addition to rescuing a classmate from the water, she also stayed in the hospital for a while.

    By the way, Yin Yi should have taken care of her at that time.

    Isn’t it funny?

    Bai Tong felt like the prince who fell into the sea in “The Daughter of the Sea”. When she woke up, the little mermaid who saved her was with the princess of a neighboring country.

    It’s funny even when I think about it.

    never mind.never mind.never mind.

    Bai Tong ignored the people behind him, changed direction, and walked towards another way home.

    Sanhe Road is winding and winding, and it takes more than forty minutes to walk along the river to get home.

    Encountering the ice cream shop on the road, Bai Tong still ordered the three flavors.

    Rice, mint, matcha.

    The taste was exactly the same as in her memory, and Bai Tong remembered very clearly that she had never eaten ice cream from this store, except in the loop.

    So it just happened, everything in the cycle.

    Bai Tong started to cry again, as if a switch had been pressed. He clearly didn’t want to cry anymore but couldn’t help it.

    As he was eating ice cream and crying while walking on the road, the scene was a bit too eye-catching, so Bai Tong had to find a bench by the river to sit down.

    The uneaten ice cream was thrown away, and the tissues for wiping tears were used up.

    I really can’t cry anymore.

    Bai Tong looked at the dark river at night, with tiny whirlpools and ripples on the quietly flowing water.

    There was a voice in my heart.

    Let’s dance again.

    Everything will be peaceful.

    All torture will stop now.

    Stay in the past.

    The pain ends here.

    Bai Tong thought this, but sat on the chair without moving at all.

    She recalled what her mother had said, “The readmission rate for patients with mental illness is very high. If you go out and come back again, it’s just a cycle of suffering.”

    She knew very well that if she felt that life was meaningless and that life was nothingness, then such thoughts were planted in her heart, and as soon as there was a chance, they would grow up to instigate her, seduce her, and give up as soon as possible.

    Wearing a bracelet on her left wrist, that was Bai Jingru’s only request for her, “as long as you are safe.”

    Bai Tong turned around twice and couldn’t get it off. Instead, the sensor at the bottom of the ring began to flash a green light.

    In fact, Bai Tong didn’t want to do anything, not even give up.

    Since she did not die because of Bai Jingru in the first place, then she is not born because of Sun Daining either.

    It’s just a choice to face the cruelty of reality and persevere as best you can in it.

    Bai Tong sat here for a while. There were people walking dogs and running by the river. It was fulfilling, peaceful, happy and joyful. Although it was far away from Bai Tong, there were people living such a life after all.

    Very quickly, Bai Tong made a decision.

    Yin Yi can’t accept being friends, but she can.

    As long as you erase any unnecessary thoughts, you can stay by Sun Daining’s side.

    As long as you make up your mind, it is not absolutely impossible.

    After deciding to accept the reality, Bai Tong slowly walked home along the riverside road.

    I am alone at home, feeding the cat, eating, bathing, doing homework, and sleeping.

    When he came to school again, his contact with Sun Daining was only by chance, taking the opportunity to peek at others.

    No matter how much Bai Tong wanted to be friends with Sun Daining, including Yin Yi, there seemed to be no chance, because Sun Daining never came to find her.If she were asked to take the initiative to contact Sun Daining, it seemed that it would not be convenient anyway.

    Forget it, just take a peek.

    Bai Tong had nothing else to ask for.

    The days returned to how they were a long time ago, as if Bai Jingru had never come back, and Bai Tong had never known Sun Daining.

    Bai Tong is now a little curious about what kind of life Bai Jingru is living.

    Because for those who don’t go home, it’s obvious that there is still a home outside.

    Bai Tong wanted to go there and have a look.

    Mom’s company is very easy to find. Bai Tong came downstairs to the group on a Saturday morning.

    There were very few people. After entering through the revolving door, there was no front desk inside, only a few security guards. One of them asked Bai Tong what happened.

    Bai Tong said he was looking for someone, Bai Jingru.

    The security guard looked at her again and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”

    For some reason, Bai Tong couldn’t easily give the concise answer “I’m her daughter.” Instead, he answered the security guard’s question, “No.”

    “You need to make an appointment before release. I suggest you contact Mr. Bai’s assistant.”

    “Is Mr. Bai here today?” Bai Tong asked.

    The security guard said, “We don’t know much about this either.”

    Today is the weekend. Although Bai Tong has Assistant Bai Jingru’s phone number, he is not sure that it would be inconvenient to disturb others during the weekend.

    Bai Jingru herself neither responded to messages nor answered phone calls.

    Bai Tong took a quick trip and went to sit on the sofa in the rest area, planning to sit there for a while and go home.

    By the way, I ordered a cup of coffee to be delivered to those who were working.

    But Bai Tong obviously didn’t have any work to deal with. She took out her phone and searched Yunshan.

    Regarding Tadao Hotel, currently all parties are not optimistic about it, and there are already rumors that Bai Jingru will terminate investment.

    Bai Tong didn’t know much about business matters. She just thought that without her participation, the project would still have failed. She wondered whether Yunshan would make such an extreme decision in the end.

    After thinking about it, why is it that my mother is surrounded by some very extreme people…

    While I was still concentrating on research, I received a message from Bai Jingru, “You have come to the company? What are you doing here?”

    Bai Tong replied, “Looking for you.”

    Bai Tong found emoticons at his fingertips now, and quickly sent a cute smiley emoticon back to his mother.

    Bai Jingru’s side showed “Inputting”. Bai Tong waited for a while, but finally received nothing.

    No matter what, Bai Tong still wanted to find a chance to remind her mother how much of Yunshan’s accusations were true or false. She really didn’t care anymore. All she cared about was that she didn’t want her mother to be harmed by it.

    Bai Tong was thinking about what to say and heard the security guard call “Mr. Bai”. He looked up and saw Bai Jingru nodding to the security guard.

    Bai Jingru walked up to Bai Tong and asked, “Why do you want to see me in person?”

    Bai Tong didn’t want to be dismissed by Bai Jingru with just a few words, so he said, “It’s a very important thing.”

    After she finished speaking, she stopped there, so Bai Jingru could only say, “Come up with me.”

    Bai Jingru walked in front, and Bai Tong quickly threw the paper coffee cup and the packaging bag into the trash can, trotted to follow, and finally took Bai Jingru’s hand.

    Bai Jingru held her hand very loosely, as if she was being held in Bai Tong’s hand.

    In the elevator, Bai Tong asked, “Mom, are you here on the weekend?”

    Bai Jingru replied, “Yeah.”

    “Are you here every weekend?”

    “Not necessarily.”

    Bai Tong thought he would be taken to the office by Bai Jingru, but no, he was taken to a tea break area on the middle floor.

    There are some high and low, colorful tables and chairs here, as well as snacks such as biscuits and candies.

    Bai Jingru asked Bai Tong to sit somewhere casually.

    There is also a coffee machine here. Bai Jingru walked over and wanted to make a cup for Bai Tong, but after researching it, it seemed that she didn’t know how to use it.

    There were not many people in the building on Saturday, but it was not completely empty. Bai Jingru finally caught one and shouted to the person who was about to turn around as soon as he arrived at the door, “Hello.”

    “Mr. Bai.” The man had no choice but to walk in.

    Bai Jingru looked at the name on her work badge and asked, “Joe, do you know how to use this?” She pointed to the coffee machine.

    “Of course, of course, please wait a moment.” The girl named Joe picked up the handle and prepared to grind the beans.

    But Bai Jingru took her over and said, “Just teach me.”

    The scene goes like this.

    It doesn’t matter whether Joe makes three cups of coffee or 300 cups of coffee, but it’s better to let her do it alone rather than leaving a boss beside her.

    Bai Jingru didn’t know why Bai Tong was here, and she always felt that it wouldn’t be a good thing, so she wanted to spend more time here.

    The two of them were awkwardly teaching and learning here. At this time, Bai Tong also came over and said, “Teach me too, and I will learn too.”

    “Ah hahaha.” Joe wanted to ask, “Who are you?” But no matter who she was, she was at least a little more amiable than Bai Jingru, so Joe taught completely towards Bai Tong, while Bai Jingru just watched from the side.

    After three cups of coffee were prepared, Joe picked up one of them and said, “Mr. Bai, should I leave first?”

    “Go and do your work, thank you.” Bai Jingru said.

    Bai Tong also said obediently, “Thank you, sister Joe.”
